If any one interesred there is a pretty flash ship in port today. Well worth the trip to have have a look. Will do a drive by on the way out this morning.

We are taking the cage to Paeroa tomorrow. If you want anything taken up, drop it off to us. Ride safe everyone!

If we don't turn up today it is because we are helping Jan to move. In which case, have a good ride where-ever you go.

That's a shame. I ended up heading off by myself to Umutoi. I'll be impressed by anyone who knows where that is.
Five and a half hour round trip. Pissed down on the way back. Good fun.

Where'd you guys go?

It was awesome to catch up the lot that went to Paeroa even if it was for a short time with some of you. I had an awesome day See you all in April if not earlier.

Aye Chicky it was great. You are looking fit and well. We walk around the bank in the avo looking for Tart and MSTRS and Busa Pete and co but never found you. We were getting the gear on to leave when we got your last TXT. Never mind we will catch up here some time soon.

It was a great weekend. We went to Hamilton for Saturday night and stayed in the Ibis. It is new to Hamilton. I would rate it as "good" in the end. We had a shaky start because they told W and I there was no parking and we would have to move our bikes down to the Casino. Yea right. We found a space. The rooms were good, all be a bit small, but that's all you need for a night over. The breaky was good. Not as many choices as I might have liked but the rooms at $89.00 and $109.00 for the promo, it was good.

The day at the track was great. I would just like to say I herd Rob say the Suzuki word after the 3rd lap of race five but after a red flag and restart it was all Yamaha. A disappointing day for Suzuki. Bloody Yamahahahahaaa..............

Great ride home and Donna is so on to it. She rode at the same pace as the rest of us and the traffic was thick as. Well done that girl. No special favours from now on.

I had an issue with the Gixxer. Again. It blew a fuse as we stopped to pay at the gate on the way in to da track. Lucky it only took out the dash and the indicators and not the hole wiring system like last time. Replaced the fuse and all was well till we left for Napier from Taupo. I pulled out of the park to find no dash, that is Speedo, Tacko, dash lights etc not going. The head lights were going but I didn't try the dip switch incase it took out the lights. We headed off for home behind W Mrs W and Grumpy. I passed them and shot off in an attempt to get home before it got to dark, or as close to home as possible. Now I can say riding with out a dash is great. Ride to the conditions. It turned out to be a quick trip home. By the time we got to Eskdale it was black as so I tried the dip switch and it work fine. But with no indictors we had to stay in the line of traffic all the way down the Esk Valley to the Main road. So I will have another go at fixing it.

Still it was a 9/10 weekend. The edge taken off by the Gixxer. Other than that it was great to see you Chicky and Rob and Mark and all da others at the track and share a weekend away with W&D. Bring on the next one.
